Singularity 6 announced today that its upcoming fantasy MMO, which is designed as a peaceful, welcoming world, has found its audience. Palia now has over 600,000 signups of players waiting to playtest the unreleased sim title, says the studio. According to Singularity 6’s founders, the popularity of Palia shows the player demand for a cozy game with a community spirit.
Palia is an MMO set in a fantasy world where humans disappeared and are coming back after thousands of years. Players can explore the world of Palia, befriend villagers, farm, build a home and partake of community events. Anyone familiar with games such as Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley will find the vibe familiar. The world evolves with the players, and the studio hopes that it will grow with them over a period of years.
Anthony Leung, Singularity 6’s CEO and co-founder, told GamesBeat, “The mission of the company is to deepen players’ lives by creating these alternate worlds, and something that we really want to bring to the community sim genre is a love letter — something that’s special to them, that they can live and play in for a long time. We’re hoping this game is something that can last for decades.”
According to the studio, the Palia Discord has over 100,000 members, while over 20,000 users played the game during alpha tests in 2022 and 2023. During one month-long alpha playtest, the players logged over 167,000 hours, with the most dedicated players putting in around 200 hours of time.
